Raheem Sterling has completed a surprise move to Dutch side Feyenoord, joining the Eredivisie club on loan until the end of the season.
The experienced England international sealed the short-term deal earlier today, with Feyenoord confirming the agreement in an official statement. The move is seen as a significant boost for the Rotterdam-based club as they push for domestic success and aim to strengthen their attacking options in the second half of the campaign.
Sterling, 31, brings a wealth of top-level experience, having played in the Premier League and represented England at multiple major international tournaments. Known for his pace, direct running, and versatility across the forward line, he is expected to add both creativity and leadership to Feyenoord’s squad.
Speaking after the announcement, Sterling expressed enthusiasm about the new challenge and the opportunity to experience football in the Netherlands. He is expected to join up with his new teammates immediately and could make his debut in the coming weeks, subject to registration clearance.
Feyenoord currently sit among the top contenders in the Eredivisie and view Sterling’s arrival as a statement signing as they compete on multiple fronts.
Further details of the agreement, including any option to extend the stay, have not yet been disclosed.
